SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is making available final
Supplement 5, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of
Florida Power and Light Company's operating licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41
for an additional 20 years of operation for Turkey Point Nuclear
Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4. A Notice of Availability of Draft
Supplement 5, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437 was published in the Federal
Register on April 5, 2019 (84 FR 13662), by the Environmental
Protection Agency. The public comment period on draft Supplement 5,
Second Renewal to NUREG-1437 ended on May 20, 2019, and the comments
received are addressed in final Supplement 5, Second Renewal to NUREG-
1437.
II. Discussion
As discussed in Chapter 5 of final Supplement 5, Second Renewal to
NUREG-1437, the NRC staff determined that the adverse environmental
impacts of subsequent license renewal for Turkey Point are not so great
that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-
planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is
based on: (1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) information
provided in the environmental report and other documents submitted by
Florida Power and Light; (3) consultation with Federal, State, local,
and Tribal agencies; (4) the NRC staff's independent environmental
review; and (5) consideration of public comments received during the
scoping process and on the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of October, 2019.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Environmental Review License Renewal Branch, Division of
